So I created yet another flyer for a friend of mine. Promoting for the Oasis Nightclub in Saugus, MA for their Tropical Fridays event. And of course, it headlines Miggie once again because for some reason… my buddy “Big T” thinks I’m his official flyer guy. All this work takes too much time out of my schedule so he’s going to have to do better than a free lunch. LOL. But I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Here it is…

Took awhile to make with all the craziness going on with my day job but I managed to get it done before his video came out. Things that are different in this one is the new MySpace slideshow widget and also the more customized youtube player. I’m also planning on venturing into newer designs. But lord knows when I will ever make time for that. Life has been pretty busy from Work to working out. But thats another blog for later.

Just whipped this up recently for 717 Entertainment. They are throwing an event for up and coming unsigned talent in the Southern California area. Westsideeeeeeeeeeeee. But you know I heart boston for ever so uhm…… BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA! Muhahhahahhahaa

And yes, I know the blue side looks real busy with all that text but… I do as I’m told. The gift and the curse of the designer.

So last night (Wednesday night, Apr. 2nd), my friend Agustina from California calls me and of course she wanted me to help her with something. If you haven’t noticed… I’m “that guy” to call when you want some help with something technical. She tells me about a competition that her store, exclusive wireless (a T-Mobile authorized dealer), was having. There was no real prize or money involved but I’m a helpful person… not to mention that I’m as competitive as it gets. She tells me that a co-worker at another store was the “graphics guy” for their franchise for awhile and also that he uses Illustrator. He reportedly submitted 3 drafts into the contest. So I was starting to have doubts that maybe I didn’t stand a chance. So Agustina and I stayed up to 3AM EST, working on this flyer for a “Tax Free Weekend Sale.” - It came out good, but I wasn’t too happy with the image on the upper left but I was too tired and exhausted to continue to work on it. It was due the next day. Damn Agustina and her last minute missions. It felt like the show Dinner Impossible but for graphic design.

So she calls me today and tells me that I’ve won! And the flyer will be posted up at every exclusive wireless store in the Sacramento market. Hopefully if they have future sales like this, my flyer might make it to other exclusive wireless stores in Modesto, Sacramento, Reno (nv), Visalia, Bakersfield, Tulare, Madera, Porterville, Delano, Dinuba, Turlock, Atwater, and Stockton. Her regional manager loved it and the owner of the franchise was impressed as well. VICTORY IS MINE! I just want to thank the associated press, My mother for having me, the teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon that inspired me to draw during my childhood, and thanks to my buddy Agustina for giving me to opportunity.

Westsideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This was very uplifting for me due to the issues in my personal life. Thanks Agster!

P.S. Agustina, you owe me a video testimonial.

I’ve been sort of busy and still haven’t added everything to my portfolio yet. So I’m adding this project, I done ages ago, for my friend Epidemic. He is an aspiring rap artist from Miami, Florida. Not only did I design his myspace, I also did his domain goepidemic.com (Go check out his first exposure mixtape - It’s dope!)along with cd covers, flyers, and t-shirts that were passed around during the world cup in germany. Can we say exposure? hehe. But yeah, I did tons of stuff for him.

Or you can check out the song that blew up from First Exposure:

I guess I really should be adding the rest of my work to this site. I guess it’s a good second addition to my portfolio, not to mention that I had to do some cosmetic changes today to the page. Myspace band profiles have this “SNOCAP” player that lets visitors buy music so I was called to duty to make room for this flash object. This is actually the 2nd layout that I did for her. On the left is a thumbnail of the first layout. If you want to see her latest layout, check below.

After I did the first layout, I did receive a testimonial which was awesome of her to do. Listen to it below:

One of my latest projects done a few months back. Jared Cotter from American Idol (Season Six). Fun project for me. And I enjoy his music as well. The people in his camp were also great to work with.
